In the last couple of years, machine learning, generative design, augmented reality and virtual reality (AR-VR) muscled their ways into the engineers' world. Are they unstable technologies better explored in research labs? Or are they mature enough for the production environment? In this LIVE round table moderated by DE's Kenneth Wong on Jan. 25, panelists discuss the promises and perils of machine learning, early adopters' challenges with generative design, AR-VR-driven visions and illusions, and how to make good use of the data collected from the field
